Heidi Monday has done her fair share of reality TV shows, but she dreams of being a part of a reality TV show The Masked Singer It was doubly disappointing when an injury forced her to withdraw on the earlier side since her debut.

“I couldn’t even speak,” Montag, 39, told EXCLUSIVELY us weekly before she was eliminated from the episode on Wednesday, February 25. “My vocal cords bled during the show because the helmet was so heavy and stiff and I strained my neck trying to lift my head up.

When hot girls night comes, this hills alum “It’s been whispering at home for two weeks straight.”

“I couldn’t even talk to my kids at home. It was really intense off camera and I was trying to save my voice,” she recalled. “So, I was in tears before and after because I had wanted this for so long, and then to have to leave because of a vocal injury was devastating to me. I just felt like this opportunity that I had been waiting for so long was being taken away from me…and I know that it was magnified because of everything I’d been through.”

As Snowcone, Montag is open to everything about her and her husband, Spencer Plattexperienced since losing home The Pacific Palisades Fire last January. In Wednesday’s clue package, she said she realized “nothing good or bad is forever,” but their love will be their “legacy.”

“It’s really rare to be a part of a program that is so positive and inspiring,” added Montag. “Typically, my experience with reality shows is that they’re there to catch you and exploit you, all these different things… This has been a really good experience for me and Spencer. This is the first really positive show we’ve done together, and it’s been a really big blessing for us considering everything we’ve just been through.”

The kids have never been so excited about anything. It’s taken on a life of its own in our house. They love Mr. Snowcone. They’re fascinated. I say, ‘Hello, Mrs. Snowcone is singing! Mr. Snowcone is standing right there.'” But they love the whole dynamic. “

“It was my first concert. I was 12 years old,” she recalls. “spice world That’s everything. I think I’ve seen that movie a million times on (VHS)…so I don’t think the Spice Girls have any more fans. I have loved it since childhood baby spices. She is my favorite. As an adult, I think this is trendy. i love victoria beckham That’s all. “

As a singer, Montag knows how to write a good pop song, and she promises her new album will delight fans hungry for more after last year’s release. heidi wood.

“I’m really excited about this album,” she told us Her next record is titled masterpiece. “I think it’s the best album I’ve ever made. It’s not that over the top. It’s a more classic, quintessential pop sound – early 2000s girl pop mixed with a modern twist. I think it’s going to be a great staple for a lot of people. Definitely put it on your workout playlist.”

Meanwhile, Montag is grateful for what she and Platt still have after losing everything last year. (Pratt announced his Run for mayor Los Angeles last month. )

“We still face a lot of challenges,” Montag explained. “It just puts everything in perspective. We could die tomorrow, or anything could happen, or what you think you’re planning for the future… Like, let’s not plan too far ahead. That’s a big theme in our family right now. We’re like, ‘Great, that’s a good outline, but let’s not commit to that because we don’t know what the future is and where we’ll be.’ There’s definitely a lot of moving parts and we’re going to continue to take it day by day.”
